FA Cup third-round draw: Tottenham, Man United, Newcastle & Aston Villa in Premier League showdowns

The FA Cup third-round draw was conducted on Monday evening, ahead of the second-round tie between Brackley Town and Burton Albion.

The third round is always a highlight of the FA Cup, marking the entry of Premier League and Championship clubs, and allowing lower-league sides to pull off upsets.

There are four all-Premier League matches to look out for. Tottenham Hotspur take on Aston Villa, while Manchester United face Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford.

Newcastle United host Bournemouth, and Everton welcome Sunderland to the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Cup holders Crystal Palace will begin their defence with a trip to non-league club Macclesfield.

The third-round fixtures will take place in early January.
